Tekstgrupa ORBĪTA / Artūrs Punte, Vladimirs Svetlovs, Sergejs Timofejevs, Aleksandrs Zapoļs

In the Latvian context, the text group “Orbīta” is a unique collective of poets, photographers, sound and multimedia artists who have been active in Latvia’s cultural life since 1999, creating performances and installations, publishing bilingual collections, and holding poetry readings, contemporary art and multimedia exhibitions. The group’s members always find unorthodox solutions for their installations, as a means of deconstructing subjective reality and revealing the deep poetic structure behind the most banal things and events. The installation “Radio Wall” is a sound landscape comprising 84 radios. In this uncontrollable sound chaos, the viewer occasionally hears a poem by an “Orbīta” member, moreover they can also influence them by causing disruptions in the noisy, fragile ether with their body movements.

The installation “Actual Spacescape” is an interactive artwork which combines the processuality, performativeness and poetry typical of the “Orbītas” group. A common electronic numbers printer begins to demonstrate surprising abilities, i.e. printing out text fragments received from cosmic probes with which contact has long been lost. The endless cosmos or the poetic universe begins flowing into our living space, materialising in the most unexpected ways.
